A Bad Solar Storm Could Cause an 'Internet Apocalypse'

It is possible to prepare for such an event. Power grid providers in developed nations have been doing so over the past decade, following a near miss in 2012: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=LLO9WxVO9s8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=LLO9WxVO9s8</a>

Wouldn&#x27;t the ocean shield the undersea cables from the storm? Water is supposed to be a good barrier against solar radiation and has been proposed for deep space applications shielding astronauts.

This seems like something that won’t be addressed proactively since it hasn’t been already. I’m guessing a bad solar storm would do trillions of dollars in damage to the world economy.

I imagine an event like this would cause a lot of tech related stocks to tank.
